## Automatically Updating Factorio Mods

At Game Host Bros we can automatically manage the mods on your server, keeping them up to date when your server first starts. It will update/downgrade your mods depending on the Factorio version you have set. When your server starts you will get a list of what is updated or downgraded. This will only work on mods from the [Factorio Mods Porta](https://mods.factorio.com/)

1. Log in to the [Game Host Bros Panel](https://panel.gamehostbros.com/) and select your server.
2. Go to `Configuration > Startup Parameters`.
3. Ensure your `Factorio Account Username` and `Factorio Account Token` are set. You can get them from here: https://www.factorio.com/profile
4. Set `Update Mods` to `Enabled`
5. Restart your server.

This is how you can update your Factorio dedicated server after an update.

At Game Host Bros we have automatic updates for Factorio by default, this can always be toggled on-off and you'll also be able to [change your server version](/games/factorio/change-version/) if you'd like to use an older version.

Your server will now automatically restart to perform an update whenever a new Factorio update is released, the update delay and chat message sent can also be configured to your preferences too.

:::note
Whenever your server performs an automatic update it will create a backup of your save and place it into a `save-backups` folder, this is handy in case something goes wrong as your save will be preserved and your server version can always be changed to the previous if necessary.
